2012 NFL Draft Prospect of the Day: Is Heisman Hopeful Kellen Moore the Next Colt McCoy?

If this were basketball, Boise State quarterback and Heisman candidate Kellen Moore is what we would call a “gym rat”.

Moore is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the country, and the south-paw slinger out in Boise has the Broncos in the discussion for the BCS National Championship even before the season starts.

It doesn’t matter that Moore has lost his top two targets, or that Boise’s defense has lost some good players–Moore is so good that his team is going to once again be among the best in the nation.

Even though Moore is undersized, he is extremely accurate and put simply–he is a gamer. He is currently ranked 14th on my big board, but that is soon to change when I re-arrange things. After watching more of this guy, I can say that I think he will be a starting quarterback in the NFL, against all odds.

Here is my scouting report on Moore:

I would venture to say the only thing keeping Moore from being a top tier NFL prospect is his size, and I don’t think there are many that would disagree with me. One of the most prolific quarterbacks in the country and a perennial All-WAC selection as well as a pre-season All American. Moore has an astounding 5:1 career touchdown to interception ratio, and over the last two seasons has only thrown nine picks despite the Boise State offense being predicated on the pass. Has 40 career games under his belt already, including one of the most winning records in all of college football. This is a guy who is really just flat out a winner on the football field and his play reflects it. As the Boise State starting QB, he has 10,867 yards, 99 touchdowns, only 19 interceptions, and has only been sacked 23 times, 10 in the last two seasons combined. He also has three rushing touchdowns, and his only career reception has gone for a touchdown. Not only that, but he has three career punts, and a long of 54 yards! This kid is just an exceptional athlete, and you would love to see him turn out to be like a Drew Brees type of player. He doesn’t have the strongest arm, but he can make any and every throw and is dead-on accurate. He completed over 71 percent of his passes last season, and led the nation with a quarterback efficiency rating of 182.63. He is undersized and his arm strength doesn’t overwhelm, but he should be drafted and will undoubtedly make an NFL roster.
